WTB: Used DC power supply (AUS)

[002]

Hi all,
I am looking to purchase a DC power supply and prefer to buy used than some new "wun hung lo" (as Dave says) brand on eBay.
If you have one that you don't use and are willing to ship to regional QLD, please let me know. Doesn't have to be anything fancy - 0-30V ~3A will be more than enough for what I'm messing around with, I think.
Budget ~250-300 AUD.
Cheers!

For that sort of $ you could also consider the Manson NP-9615 0-30V 5A Linear with a couple of lower current outputs on the front too. eBay auction: #334003732248 or Radio Parts have them too among others https://www.radioparts.com.au/product/33771611/np9615g-5amp-0-30v-dc-power-supply-digital-bench-top-dark-grey-digital-bench-top-dark-grey

Important here they are NOT mainland Chinese and way better than a lot of the swill. I have had a 0-15V 60A SMPS and a dual channel 30V Linear of theirs for lots of years of use.

EDIT: Just looked at the evilbay link again and I have a 20% evilbay discount for it?? Might be ebayplus or  worth a look.... $200 AUD is seriously a good deal.

Thanks gents - Manson happens to be the brand that was at the top of my list if I had to buy new, so I may just pull the trigger on that one.

Well what would matter is if the PSU was Linear or switchmode.

The Manson appears linear due to size and specs but it doesn't say.   The wavecom is unit is linear

FWIW...depends upon your needs.

Manson make both SMPS and Linear. The one linked to is a Linear supply. My 60A Manson is SPMS and about 20mV under load ripple my other linear is at most a few mV.

I have no problem with powering most stuff from an SMPS of 'reasonable quality' but some of the utter garbage on the market currently should give anyone pause before buying. So yes it can matter a lot.

Yep, that's why I raised it...
